Just thought I would add these 1275LS and 998LS identification guides to this thread, despite being very late to the conversation:

http://classicregister.com/id-pages/how ... ni-1275-ls

http://classicregister.com/content/how- ... ini-998-ls

We have a 1275LS originally a Sth Aust car. For those keeping score.

XNFAD18Y/103724 engine no 12H902UH000354. 8/78 compliance plate date

If you want, send me an email ([email protected]) with a picture of the car and I will add it to the 1275LS register - have about 30 cars now .

Here is a link to the ones we have: http://classicregister.com/car-search/12/18/23/all/all

Thanks!

Morris1100: "My 1275LS is number 104080 and was dated September 78."

I just purchased 10485@ and is dated October 78. Woohoo!!

What date in October is yours?

The last dozen or so 1275LS's have a date of 26 Oct 1978 but they are in the 10500's.

Not sure what date GTO. Plate says 10/78.

Sorry I was referring to the plaque on the dash but yours must have been before they were issued.

I have 4 photos of the dash plates and they are all 26 Oct 1978.

Ref LeylandMiniPhil98s car. Its a 1275LS with a wrongly stamped Mini S ADR plate. Take the plate off and the rest of the car is all 1275LS.
